Happy Thanksgiving

I have alot to be grateful for in my life. I am a very blessed woman. I have a wonderful husband who loves and supports me. I have three beautiful healthy daughters. They are just so wonderful in there own ways I love them all so very much. I have wonderful friends who love me for me and are still there for me even though I haven't been the best of friend to them. I have a loving supportive family who I know will always be there for me. I have a mother who is the best and cares so much for all her children and grandchildren.
I am especially grateful to her for how strong she is and how she can hold us all together. I am grateful to her as a friend and all the advice she gives me. I love you mom.
I am grateful for prayer and the relationship that I can build with my heavenly father. I am grateful for the strength that he gives me when I don't feel I can go on. And for those challenges that I have and the growth that I can experience from them.
I am also grateful for the counsel that I receive from my husband and the marriage we have. And for the growth that we experience together as a couple. I am grateful to watch my husband grow everyday in becoming a better husband, father, and servant to the lord.
I am so grateful for my sisters and the friendship that I have with each one them. I am eternally grateful to my heavenly father for blessing my sister. I am grateful that she is such a fighter! That she is out of the ICU now (she was in there on life support for almost 3 weeks!) and working her way back to full strengthI I love my sisters so very much I want them to know that.
I am grateful for my in-laws and the love and support that they give my me and my family as well. They truly are a blessing in my life.
I am grateful to be able to serve other people when they are in need.
I just hope that me as a person can give other people things to be grateful for also.
I am so grateful to be alive, to have such a full live and to be finding myself and who I am. Thank you god for all that I have!
Happy Thanksgiving!

A very sick sister

You don't realize how precious people are in your life until you can lose them. My sister Megan is in the Icu right now fighting for her life. It is a scary thing when you look at her just lying there hooked up to a machine breathing for her. She is a diabetic and caught the swine flu. It has made her so very sick. Her lungs have filled up with fluid so she has pneumonia also. They have put her in coma like state. While they breath for her because it is too much work for her to do on her own right now. I want to tell my family how much I love them and how much they mean to me. Just keep praying and put it in the lords hands.

My goofy Lydia

I gotta love my Lydia. We were at the store today and I was standing in the check out line. I had Anna in the cart and Caitlyn and Lydia were standing in front of it. I just happened to glance back and see a pair of random pink little shoes, just lying there in the middle of the floor. My first thought was, "oh no some little girl had left her shoes in the middle of the store." Then I thought, "wait those look like the shoes Lydia has on." Then, "Oh wait those Are Lydia's shoes!" So I ran and picked them up as two other ladies came up behind us. They realized what had just happened and started laughing. I couldn't help but laugh too. I'm just so glad that I just happened to look back at the floor or else I probably would have to replace a pair of shoes. Lydia definitely knows how to make herself at home!
